mattdeslParses BMFont files (XML/TXT) to JSON objects, with a command-line tool for easy conversion.
example
var fs = require('fs');
var bmfont2json = require('bmfont2json');
//grab the Buffer or a string of our data
var data = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myfile.fnt');
//the bitmap font data as an object
var obj = bmfont2json(data);
//we can stringify it if we want...
var json = JSON.stingify( obj );The function parses a string (or Node Buffer) that is either XML data (with a root element), or TXT data (following Bitmap Font spec).
The output looks something like the following JSON. It tries to stay true to the BMFont spec.
